GPT-4.1 is Coming Soon

OpenAI is preparing to launch several new AI models, including an upgraded version of GPT-4o called GPT-4.1. Smaller versions like GPT-4.1 Mini and GPT-4.1 Nano are also expected, along with new o3 and o4 Mini models.

• GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 Mini, and GPT-4.1 Nano might launch next week.

• OpenAI is also getting ready to release o3 and o4 Mini, possibly even sooner.

• Due to capacity issues, these launches may face delays or performance problems.

These new models can bring faster, lighter, and smarter AI tools for users. But OpenAI is facing infrastructure challenges, like server overload and GPU shortages, which might cause slowdowns, limited access, or delays in new features.

Google Drops Free AI Courses

Google has released a series of free AI training courses.

These courses, covering a variety of topics including Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLM), Responsible AI, and Image Generation, are designed to be simple and concise, with short lessons:

AI Training Courses
Course 1: "Introduction to Generative AI"
This course helps you understand Generative AI, the technology that can generate content such as text, images, or other media based on text prompts. The course is short and simple, lasting about 45 minutes. You will also learn how to create your own AI programs using Google tools.

Course 2: "Introduction to Large Language Models (LLM)"
In this course, you will explore Large Language Models (LLMs), the core of modern AI systems. These models analyze user inputs and process them to generate appropriate responses. This brief course, lasting 45 minutes, introduces you to the applications and methods for improving these models.

Course 3: "Responsible AI Training"
This course focuses on the importance of developing AI that is fair and responsible. You will learn how AI can be designed to be unbiased and respect human values. It also introduces Google's 7 principles for responsible AI development.

Course 4: "Introduction to Image Generation"
This course covers image generation models, especially Diffusion Models, which are inspired by physics and have shown significant success in creating high-quality images in recent years. It's perfect for those interested in creating images with AI.

Course 5: "Encoder-Decoder Architecture"
In this course, you'll learn about the Encoder-Decoder architecture, which is used to encode and decode data over the internet. In AI, this technology helps secure user information and is used in machine translation and text summarization.

Course 6: "Transformer Models and BERT"
This course focuses on BERT, a model introduced by Google in 2018 that helps AI understand text more comprehensively. This course is great for anyone interested in content analysis and natural language processing.

Course 7: "Creating Image Captioning Models"
In this course, you'll learn how to use AI to build models that analyze images and generate captions for them. This technology allows AI to "read" images and will have widespread applications in the future.

Course 8: "Introduction to Google Vertex AI Studio"
In this course, you will get familiar with Google's Vertex AI Studio, learning how to use its features and tools to develop your own projects. The course includes demos to help you understand how to work with the studio effectively.

WordPress Just Killed Web Design

WordPress just launched a new AI tool that can build a complete website for users in minutes.

• The tool is called WordPress AI Site Builder and works like a chatbot.

• It can create everything, text, layout, images, and more, based on user input.

• It's free to try, but publishing the site requires a paid plan starting from $18/month.

This shows how fast AI is changing website building. With just a few details like your favorite colors or business name, anyone can have a ready-to-use site without coding. It makes launching a basic site easier than ever, and WordPress plans to add even more features soon.
